Been busy here as usual… we had guests visiting from L.A. and NYC over the last two weeks who hung out even though we were barely home.

Kaidy was here and he really clicked with Adolfo… which I was surprised about. Adolfo tends to be jelous and bitchy toward people with whom I have a past. Although, Kaidy charmed the heck out him… yeah!

Chippy was here from NYC and it was a frustrating start for both of us. He lost his cell on the subway on the way to the airport. That meant we had no way of communicating directly… argh. BUT, when we talked I found him to be an interesting soul. He is spiritual and unbound in many ways. He also inspired me to do more running like I used to do ‘back in the day’ when I was much thinner… oi vay.

I am planning Adolfo’s birthday party on the 16th; dinner party at a nice Italian restaurant with friends. I got him a p-coat and a watch. I am making him a cake: white sponge style cake with chambord soak, raspberry cheesecake filling, and an Italian meringue icing. Sound good??? I’ll post pics soon (after the event). We’re going to Green Valley Ranch and I expect it waill be a lot of fun!

I know I said this before, but we gave notice yesterday that we are moving to our management company. Yes… Seattle is still the favorite location. I should be securing a new place to live this week. Now, we have to find jobs! I know they are out there…

I am leaving school next week too to work on some new goals for us. We have committed to getting our finances in shape and have printout from ConsumerInfo.com (Free Credit Report.Com) of all our credit reports and are stunned by it all. Ugh! The ultimate goal is to buy a house by the end of 2005 or the beginning of 2006 outside of Seattle. (sigh)

Anyway, sorry it has been so long since I posted updates! More to come! Scott
